Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July t, 1914.

l Application fi1ed December 26, 1905. Serial No. 293,212.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLARD C. JAMES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and useful Sanitary Kitchen, Lavatory, and Laundry Appliance, of which the following is a specification.

An object of this invention is to provide superior convenience for the house-wife or servant in an apartment designed to be used for kitchen, laundry and lavatory purposes.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.

Figure 1 is an elevation of my newlyinvented apparatus, the same being in midsection through the main portion of the view; the drain-board'is shown raised in solid lines, and closed in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a fragmental detail of the upper portion of the connection between the tub and the wash-bowl. Fig. 3 is a fragmental detail of the outlet of the tub with the sink connection shown just withdrawn. Fig. 4 is a fragmental detail illustrating the plugged outlet from the wash-bowl. Fig. 5 is an elevation from the right of Fig.1 showing the wash-bowl and drain-board intact, the drain-board being lowered. Dotted lines indicate shifted position of the drain-board.

1 is'a tub; 2, the outlet therefrom; .3, the overflow from the tub communicating with the outlet 2 thereof.

4 is a removable sink fitting the mouth of the tub and provided with an outlet 5.

6 is a removable stand pipe removably I seated in the outlet 2 and having an open month just below the outlet 5 of the sink so that by simply seating the sink in place .the connection between the sink and the outlet is made and when the sink is withdrawn the stand pipe 6 will form an automatic overflow for the tub through the outlet 2 of the tub.

7 is a wash-bowl having in its bottom an outlet 8, and also having an overflow 9 communicating with the outlet, said outlet communicating through pipe 8' wit-h the overflow 3 of the tub.

10 is the trap of the outlet 2 of the tub.

11 is a faucet provided with a pivoted bib 12 adapted to discharge into the washbowl, sink, and tub alternately.

"13 is a drain-board shiftably hinged to the wash-basin at 14, and adapted to shift to,escape the faucet 11, and to close and open the wash-bowl 7.

The connection 6 between the outlet of the I sink and the outlet of the wash-bowl comprises a pipe 15 having a flaring mouth 16 and terminating in a laterally perforated plug 17 the lateral perforations 18 thereof being designed to receive the water from the overflow 3; the connection 6 being tubular throughout from top to bottom so that the water from the sink flows freely through the.connection when the same is in place as shown in Fig. 1, and at the same time water from the wash-basin 7 and from the overflow 3 of the tub .will flow freely from the plug into the trap 10 which forms the outlet from the tub.

19 is a plug for the wash-basin, the same being provided with lateral'openings 20 to leave the overflow 9 open while the plug is inserted.

It is apparent that the parts are all readily accessible by removing the connection 6 and the plug 19.

The drain-board 13 may be of stamped steel or any other suitable material and hinged below the ledge of the wash-bowl 7 by lugs 21 and pin or rod 22, which'may be alternatively connected, one to the drain board and the other to the cars '23-, or other suitable support. In the drawings the lugs 21 project from a standard 24 and are provided with a hook and stop 25 to hook over the rod 22, which is supported by the ears 2:5, and to engage the ledge 26 of the washbowl to stop the drain-board 13 and hold it aslant after it has passed an upright position, as shown in Fig. 1.

'27 is the usual bracket end of the WilSlI-bOWL'.

The manner of using the appliance will be for supporting one understood from the foregoing description.
